Name: Tarou
Village Affiliation: Sunagakure
Current Status: Dead?
Threat Level: C
Known Aliases: The Mannequin
Description:
Half man, half puppet. He was a sickly man that was also a skilled medic. As his body failed organ by organ
and limb by limb he replaced them with new ones. Although patches of flesh, hair and bone persist, most of
his body is a mixture of metal and wood. Although his body might have changed due to recent damages
drastically given his unusual medical state it is likely that he would not go unnoticed for long. He is quite old,
he predates many records but it is known that he was a practicing physician in Suna before Sunagakure
descended into the earth.
Type of Fighter:
Likely the use of puppet techniques, probably a puppeteer. He is also a skilled medic so he is probably able to
use his healing techniques with great proficiency. He is not a known member of a honored house or bloodline.
While no bloodline limit has been witnessed, some hypothesize that he might have migrated from using
inanimate puppets successfully as seen in the below charges.
Last Seen: October of last year
Charges: Murder
Description of Charges:
Using his position as a Medic, Tarou was charged with the wrongful death of over a dozen patients. It as
discovered that he was taking parts from them and then incorporating them into several experiments, some
theorize that he may have been incorporating their organs into himself. A unit was sent to retrieve him for
questioning and trial, but before he was captured he was found hanging. While he was marked as a suicide,
it is impossible to determine if the body was actually him as the body recovered was a mixture of flesh, bone
and mechanisms that appeared consistent with Tarou's description. Since Tarou's documented death there
have been some hospital-based disappearances where the victims were later found dissected with body parts
missing upon recovery.
Additional Information:
While he was assumed dead, apparently he has been quite active in the criminal underworld. He was found by
Aiyo Shinbatsu, killed (again) and submitted to Sunan authorities.
